Abstract

An actuator for controlling fittings has an explosion-protected housing and a pressure-tight separating wall with sealed bushings for electric lines between the inside of the housing and an outer terminal compartment. Electrical connections with connection terminals for supply lines are located in said outer terminal compartment. A support part (7) which forms the separating wall (6) is provided for the connection terminals (10) and is connected to pin-like extensions (11). Said pin-like extensions penetrate the separating wall (6) and plug-in contact elements (12) are provided at the inner end of said pin-like extensions (11), for contacting with mating plug-in contact elements (13). At the same time, the separating wall (6) forms the support part (7) for the connection terminals (10), which are directly connected to the inner plug-in contact elements (12) by the pin-like extensions (11). This configuration forms a compact connection unit and simplifies assembly considerably. For servicing purposes, it is possible to change complete units quickly by re-plugging, hereby avoiding complicated disconnection and connection of the lines.

Description

Armaturen-Stellantrieb Valve Actuator
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Armaturen-Stellantrieb mit einem explosionsgeschützten Gehäuse, wobei eine dichte Trennwand mit abgedichteten Durchführungen für elektrische Leitungen zwischen einem Gehäuse-Innenraum und einem äußeren Anschluss- räum vorgesehen ist und wobei sich im äußeren Anschlussraum E- lektroanschlüsse mit Klemmanschlüssen für Zuleitungen befinden.The invention relates to a valve actuator with an explosion-proof housing, wherein a sealed partition with sealed bushings for electrical lines is provided between a housing interior and an outer connection space, and in the outer connection space there are electrical connections with terminal connections for supply lines are located.
Geräte wie Armaturen-Stellantriebe werden unter anderem auch in explosionsgeschützter Ausführung hergestellt. Dazu muss das In- nere des Gerätes entsprechend druckfest abgedichtet sein. Die von außen zugeführten Versorgungs- und Steuerleitungen müssen demnach durch druckfest abgedichtete Durchführungen ins Innere geführt werden. Dazu ist es bekannt, die Leitungen durch einen Stopfen zu füh- ren, der in die Trennwand zwischen Außenbereich und explosionsgeschütztem Innenraum eingeschraubt und durch flüssiges Dichtmittel gesichert ist.Devices such as valve actuators are also manufactured in an explosion-proof version. To do this, the inside of the device must be sealed pressure-tight. The supply and control lines supplied from the outside must therefore be routed inside through pressure-tight sealed bushings. For this purpose, it is known to lead the lines through a plug which is screwed into the partition between the outside area and the explosion-proof interior and is secured by liquid sealant.
Im Außenbereich sind Anschlussklemmen angeordnet, an die die von außen zugeführten Zuleitungen angeklemmt werden können und an' die auch ins Gehäuseinnere durch den Dichtstopfen führende Versorgungs- und Steuerleitungen angeschlossen sind.In the outside area there are connection terminals to which the supply lines supplied from the outside can be connected and to which supply and control lines are also connected to the inside of the housing through the sealing plug.
Bei einer Demontage mit Öffnen des Gehäuses ist es erforderlich, die Kabel abzuklemmen und bei Austausch einer Geräteein- heit danach wieder anzuschließen. Verdrahtungsfehler sind dabei nicht auszuschließen. Hinzukommt, dass der Montageaufwand vergleichsweise groß und zeitaufwendig ist. Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, bei einem Armaturen- Stellantrieb der eingangs erwähnten Art einen Elektroanschluss vorzusehen, durch den eine vereinfachte Montage mit verringertem Aufwand möglich ist und wobei auch im Servicefall eine ein- fache Demontage und Montage möglich ist und dabei Verdrahtungsfehler praktisch ausgeschlossen sind.When dismantling by opening the housing, it is necessary to disconnect the cables and then reconnect them when replacing a device unit. Wiring errors cannot be ruled out. In addition, the assembly effort is comparatively large and time-consuming. The object of the present invention is to provide an electrical connection in a valve actuator of the type mentioned at the outset, by means of which a simplified assembly is possible with reduced effort and, in the case of servicing, simple disassembly and assembly is also possible and wiring errors are practically excluded ,
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird vorgeschlagen, dass ein die Trennwand bildendes Trägerteil für die Klemmanschlüsse vorgese- hen ist, die mit stiftartigen Verlängerungen verbunden sind und damit die Trennwand durchsetzen und dass am inneren Ende der stiftartigen Verlängerungen Steckkontaktelemente zum Kontaktieren mit Gegensteckkontaktelementen vorgesehen sind. Die Trennwand bildet hierbei gleichzeitig das Trägerteil für die Klemmanschlüsse, die direkt über die stiftartigen Verlängerungen mit den innenliegenden Steckkontaktelementen verbunden sind. Damit ist eine kompakte Anschlusseinheit gebildet. Durch die Steckverbindungen zwischen den mit Einbauteilen verbundenen elektrischen Leitungen und den Klemmanschlüssen ist die Montage wesentlich vereinfacht und es kann im Servicefall ein Austausch kompletter Einheiten ohne aufwendiges Ab- und Anklemmen der Leitungen schnell durch Umstecken vorgenommen werden. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es dabei, wenn ein Halter für die Ge- gensteckkontaktelemente vorgesehen ist, der passend zu den Steckkontaktelementen des Trägerteiles angeordnete Aufnahmen für die darin insbesondere festlegbaren Gegensteckkontaktele- ente aufweist.To solve this problem, it is proposed that a support part forming the partition is provided for the terminal connections, which are connected to pin-like extensions and thus penetrate the partition, and that plug-in contact elements for contacting mating plug-in contact elements are provided at the inner end of the pin-like extensions. The partition wall also forms the support part for the terminal connections, which are connected directly to the internal plug contact elements via the pin-like extensions. A compact connection unit is thus formed. Due to the plug-in connections between the electrical lines connected to built-in parts and the terminal connections, assembly is considerably simplified and, in the event of service, complete units can be quickly replaced without having to disconnect and reconnect the lines. It is particularly advantageous if a holder for the mating plug contact elements is provided, which has receptacles arranged to match the mating plug contact elements of the carrier part for the mating plug contact elements which can be fixed therein.
Verdrahtungsfehler bei der Montage und nach einem Austausch einer Geräteeinheit sind damit praktisch ausgeschlossen, so dass solche Arbeiten auch von weniger qualifizierten Arbeitskräften vorgenommen werden können.Wiring errors during assembly and after replacing a device unit are practically excluded, so that such work can also be carried out by less qualified workers.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass das Trägerteil in ein rohrartiges Grundrahmenteil eingesetzt ist, das als Einbauteil dicht zwischen dem Gehäuse und einem äußeren, den Anschlussraum umgrenzenden Abschlussdeckel eingesetzt ist. Dieses Grundrahmenteil ermöglicht eine einfache Vormontage und Verbindung mit dem dicht darin eingesetzten Trägerteil. Bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, dass das Trägerteil aus einem Kunststoff-Spritzgießteil besteht und durch Spritzgießen mit dem Grundrahmenteil verbunden ist und dass die stiftartigen Verlängerungen, welche die Klemmanschlüsse mit den Steckkontaktele- menten verbinden, durch Spritzgießen dicht in das Trägerteil eingebettet sind.An advantageous embodiment provides that the carrier part is inserted into a tubular base frame part which is inserted as a built-in part between the housing and an outer cover that delimits the connection space. This base frame part enables simple preassembly and connection with the carrier part inserted tightly therein. It is preferably provided that the carrier part consists of a plastic injection-molded part and is connected to the base frame part by injection molding and that the pin-like extensions which connect the clamping connections to the plug contact elements are embedded in the carrier part by injection molding.
Gerade bei dieser Ausführungsform ist der Einsatz des rohrartigen Grundrahmenteiles vorteilhaft, weil für den Spritzvorgang eine gute Zugänglichkeit und Handhabbarkeit vorhanden ist. Für die Herstellung werden vor dem Spritz- oder Vergussvorgang die die Klemmanschlüsse mit stiftartigen Verlängerungen und Steckkontaktelementen aufweisenden Kontakte in eine Spritzgießform eingelegt und beim Spritzvorgang direkt miteingegossen, so dass auf der einen Seite der Trennwand die Klemmanschlüsse und auf der anderen Seite die Steckkontaktelemente zugänglich sind. Das Grundrahmenteil mit eingegossenem Trägerteil und darin dicht eingebetteten Kontakten bildet nach dem Aushärten der Vergussmasse eine unlösbare Einheit. Als Spritzgießmaterial wird insbesondere ein Duroplast auf Epoxidharz-Basis verwendet.In this embodiment in particular, the use of the tubular base frame part is advantageous because good accessibility and handling are available for the spraying process. For the manufacture, the contacts with the terminal connections with pin-like extensions and plug contact elements are inserted into an injection mold before the injection or casting process and are cast in directly during the injection process, so that the terminal connections are accessible on one side of the partition and the plug contact elements are accessible on the other side. The base frame part with a cast-in support part and contacts tightly embedded therein forms an inseparable unit after the casting compound has hardened. In particular, a thermoset based on epoxy resin is used as the injection molding material.
Zweckmäßigerweise sind die Steckkontaktelemente des Trägerteiles einzeln oder gruppenweise in zueinander versetzten Ebenen und die Gegensteckkontaktelemente des Halters in komplementär dazu versetzten Ebenen angeordnet. Damit sind auch die an den äußeren Enden der Steckkontaktelemente befindlichen Klem an- Schlüsse in unterschiedlichen Ebenen angeordnet. Bei einem vorgegebenen, lichten Querschnitt des rohrartigen Grundrahmenteiles wird somit eine Vergrößerung des Abstandes benachbarter Kontakte beziehungsweise Anschlussstellen erreicht, so dass auch unter beengten Verhältnissen und großer Anzahl von Kontakten die vorgeschriebenen Luft- und Kriechstrecken eingehalten werden können.The plug contact elements of the carrier part are expediently arranged individually or in groups in mutually offset planes and the mating plug contact elements of the holder are arranged in mutually complementary planes. The terminal connections located at the outer ends of the plug contact elements are thus also arranged in different planes. With a predetermined, clear cross section of the tubular base frame part, the distance between adjacent contacts or connection points is thus increased, so that the prescribed clearances and creepage distances can be maintained even in tight spaces and with a large number of contacts.
Zusätzliche Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den weiteren Unteransprüchen aufgeführt.Additional embodiments of the invention are listed in the further subclaims.
Nachstehend ist die Erfindung mit ihren wesentlichen Einzelheiten anhand der Zeichnungen noch näher erläutert.The invention with its essential details is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings.
Es zeigt :It shows :

Fig.2 eine Rückseitenansicht eines Grundrahmenteiles mit Trägerteil und Klemmanschlüssen und2 shows a rear view of a base frame part with support part and clamp connections and
Fig. 3 eine vergrößerte Längsschnittdarstellung im Bereich eines Grundrahmenteiles mit Kontakt-Trägerteil.Fig. 3 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view in the region of a base frame part with a contact carrier part.
Im Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 ist ein Teil eines Armaturen-Stellantriebs 1 gezeigt, von dem im Längsschnitt insbesondere der die Elektronik aufnehmende Gehäuseteil 2 sowie ein Gehäuseabschnitt 3 mit Elektroanschlüssen 4 dargestellt sind. Das Gehäuseteil 2 ist in explosionsgeschützter Ausführung ausgebildet und nach außen hin druckfest abgedichtet . Zwischen dem Inneren dieses Gehäuseteiles und einem äußeren Anschlussraum 5 ist eine druckdichte Trennwand 6 vorgesehen, die gleichzeitig auch ein Trägerteil 7 für die Elektroanschlüsse 4 bildet.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1, part of a valve actuator 1 is shown, of which, in longitudinal section, in particular the housing part 2 receiving the electronics and a housing section 3 with electrical connections 4 are shown. The housing part 2 is designed in an explosion-proof design and sealed pressure-tight to the outside. A pressure-tight partition 6 is provided between the inside of this housing part and an outer connection space 5, which at the same time also forms a support part 7 for the electrical connections 4.
Das Trägerteil 7 ist in ein rohrartiges Grundrahmenteil 8 eingesetzt welches sich als Einbauteil zwischen dem Gehäuseteil 2 und einem äußeren, den Anschlussraum 5 umgrenzenden Abschluss- deckel 9 befindet. In Fig. 3 ist dieses Grundrahmenteil 8 mit strichpunktiert angedeutetem Abschlussdeckel 9 vergrößert dargestellt. Gut zu erkennen ist hierbei, dass das Trägerteil 7 von außen bei abgenommenem Abschlussdeckel 9 zugängliche Klemm- anschlüsse 10 aufweist, die mit stiftartigen Verlängerungen 11 verbunden sind und damit die Trennwand 6 beziehungsweise das Trägerteil 7 durchsetzen. Am inneren Ende der stiftartigen Verlängerungen 11 sind Steckkontaktelemente 12 vorgesehen, die im Ausführungsbeispiel als Buchsen ausgebildet sind. _, Die stiftartigen Verlängerungen 11 sind im Verlauf ihrer Längserstreckung massiv ausgebildet und gehen an einem Ende in die Buchsen über und weise am anderen Ende Einschraubgewinde für die Klemmanschlüsse 10 auf. Insgesamt sind diese Kontaktteile einstückig ausgebildet. Gegensteckkontaktelemente 13 in Form von Steckern sind in einem Halter 14 angeordnet und von diesem so gehalten, dass sie mit den Steckkontaktelementen 12 fluchten. Außerdem sind am Grundrahmenteil 8 und am Halter 14 Führungen zum lagerichtigen Zusammenführen dieser Teile vorgesehen. Im Ausführungsbeispiel sind dazu im Grundrahmenteil eine Nut 15 und am Halter ein dazu passender Vorsprung 16 vorgesehen. Dadurch ist eine eindeutige Lagezuordnung gegeben, so dass der Halter mit den Gegensteck- kontaktelementen 13 nur in passender Position an das Trägerteil 7 mit den Steckkontaktelementen 12 angenähert und dann die Kon- taktelemente zusammengeführt werden können. Fehlerhafte Verbindungen sind dadurch ausgeschlossen.The carrier part 7 is inserted into a tubular base frame part 8, which is located as an installation part between the housing part 2 and an outer, the terminal space 5 bordering cover 9 is located. In Fig. 3 this base frame part 8 is shown enlarged with dash-dotted end cover 9. It can be clearly seen here that the carrier part 7 has clamp connections 10 accessible from the outside when the end cover 9 is removed, which are connected to pin-like extensions 11 and thus penetrate the partition 6 or the carrier part 7. At the inner end of the pin-like extensions 11, plug contact elements 12 are provided, which in the exemplary embodiment are designed as sockets. _, The pin-like extensions 11 are solid in the course of their longitudinal extension and go into the sockets at one end and have screw-in threads for the terminal connections 10 at the other end. Overall, these contact parts are made in one piece. Mating plug contact elements 13 in the form of plugs are arranged in a holder 14 and held by this in such a way that they are aligned with the plug contact elements 12. In addition, guides are provided on the base frame part 8 and on the holder 14 for bringing these parts together in the correct position. In the exemplary embodiment, a groove 15 is provided in the base frame part and a matching projection 16 is provided on the holder. This provides an unambiguous position assignment, so that the holder with the mating plug contact elements 13 can only be approximated in a suitable position to the carrier part 7 with the plug contact elements 12, and then the contact elements can be brought together. This prevents faulty connections.
Der Halter 14 ist zweckmäßigerweise als Kunststoff- Spritzgussteil ausgebildet. Zur Aufnahme der Gegensteckkontaktelemente 13 weist der Halter 14 Aufnahmehülsen 25 auf, in de- nen die Gegensteckkontaktelemente 13 nach dem Einführen festgelegt sind.The holder 14 is advantageously designed as a plastic injection molded part. For receiving the mating plug contact elements 13, the holder 14 has receiving sleeves 25, in which the mating plug contact elements 13 are fixed after insertion.
In der in Fig. 1 und 3 gezeigten Montagestellung, wo die elektrischen Steckverbindungen ineinander greifen, ist der Halter 14 durch einen in eine Ringnut 17 eingreifenden Sicherungsring 18 in axialer Richtung festgelegt.In the assembly position shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, where the electrical plug connections engage, the holder 14 fixed in the axial direction by a locking ring 18 engaging in an annular groove 17.
Die als Stifte ausgebildeten Gegensteckkontaktelemente 13 befinden sich innerhalb von Aufnahmehöhlungen des Halters 14 und sind darin axial festgelegt. An die Gegensteckkontaktelemente 13 sind elektrische Leitungen 19 angeschlossen, die zu Baugruppen innerhalb des Gehäuseteiles 2 führen (Fig.1).The mating plug-in contact elements 13, which are designed as pins, are located within receiving cavities of the holder 14 and are axially fixed therein. Electrical lines 19 are connected to the mating plug contact elements 13, which lead to assemblies within the housing part 2 (FIG. 1).
Wie bereits vorerwähnt, ist dass Trägerteil 7, das gleichzeitig auch die Trennwand 6 bildet, druckdicht mit dem röhr- oder hülsenförmigen Grundrahmenteil 8 verbunden. Dies wird erreicht, indem das Trägerteil 7 in das Grundrahmenteil 8 eingespritzt wird. Als Material kommt bevorzugt ein Duroplast auf Epoxidharz-Basis zum Einsatz. Der EinspritzVorgang erfolgt bei erhöhter Temperatur von beispielsweise etwa 180° C. Die Kon- takte, also die Klemmanschlüsse 10 mit Steckkontaktelementen 12 und den diese verbindenden, stiftartigen Verlängerungen 11 werden bei diesem Spritzvorgang mit eingebettet, wobei die Klemmanschlüsse 10 bei der Außenseite und die Steckkontaktelemente 12 bei der Innenseite vorstehen. Im Trägerteil selbst sind so- mit nur die stiftartigen Verlängerungen 11 eingebettet.As already mentioned, the carrier part 7, which also forms the partition 6, is pressure-tightly connected to the tubular or sleeve-shaped base frame part 8. This is achieved by injecting the carrier part 7 into the base frame part 8. A thermoset based on epoxy resin is preferably used as the material. The injection process takes place at an elevated temperature of, for example, approximately 180 ° C. The contacts, that is to say the terminal connections 10 with plug contact elements 12 and the pin-like extensions 11 connecting them, are also embedded in this spraying process, the terminal connections 10 on the outside and the plug contact elements 12 protrude from the inside. Only the pin-like extensions 11 are thus embedded in the carrier part itself.
Die verwendete Vergussmasse ist so ausgewählt, dass ein an das metallische Grundrahmenteil 8 und die metallischen, stiftartigen Verlängerungen 11 angepasster Wärmeausdehnungskoeffizient vorhanden ist. Um aber eine unter praktisch allen Bedingungen sichere, druckfeste Abdichtung zu erreichen, ist im Verbindungsbereich zwischen dem Grundrahmenteil 8 und dem Trägerteil 7 eine elastische Dichtung, im Ausführungsbeispiel in Form eines O-Ringes 20 eingesetzt (Fig.3). Zusätzlich sind in diesem Verbindungsbereich formschlüssig ineinandergreifende, insbeson- dere umlaufende Profilierungen 21 in Form von ringförmigen Nuten und Vorsprüngen vorgesehen. Dadurch wird das Trägerteil 7 zusätzlich in axialer Richtung gesichert. Die stiftartigen Verlängerungen 11 sind, wie in Fig. 3 gezeigt, mit Ringnuten 22 oder dergleichen Profilierungen, gegebenenfalls auch mit Rändelungen zur Oberflächenvergrößerung versehen, um eine verbesserte Abdichtung zu erreichen.The potting compound used is selected so that there is a coefficient of thermal expansion matched to the metallic base frame part 8 and the metallic, pin-like extensions 11. However, in order to achieve a pressure-tight seal that is secure under practically all conditions, an elastic seal, in the exemplary embodiment in the form of an O-ring 20, is used in the connection area between the base frame part 8 and the carrier part 7 (FIG. 3). In addition, in this connection area interlocking, in particular circumferential profiles 21 in the form of annular grooves and projections are provided. As a result, the carrier part 7 is additionally secured in the axial direction. As shown in FIG. 3, the pin-like extensions 11 are provided with ring grooves 22 or similar profiles, optionally also with knurls for enlarging the surface, in order to achieve an improved seal.
Wie gut in Fig. 1 und 3 erkennbar, sind die Klemmanschlüsse 10 gruppenweise in zueinander versetzten Ebenen angeordnet. Im Ausführungsbeispiel sind dabei drei zueinander versetzte Ebenen vorgesehen. Auch die mit den Klemmanschlüssen 10 verbundenen, innenseitigen Steckkontaktelemente 12 sind entsprechend den Klemmanschlüssen 10 versetzt und dazu passend auch die Gegensteckkontaktelemente 13, die in dem Halter 14 befestigt sind. Die Staffelung in mehreren treppenförmigen Ebenen ermöglicht bei kompaktem Aufbau die Einhaltung der vorgeschriebenen Luft- und Kriechstrecken auch bei radial vergleichsweise geringen Abständen der einzelnen Kontakte. So lassen sich auf vergleichsweise engem Raum eine Vielzahl von elektrischen Kontakten mit Klemmanschlüssen 10 anordnen, wobei im Ausführungsbeispiel 42 solcher Klemmanschlüsse 10 vorgesehen sind (Fig. 2). Die einzelnen Klemmanschlüsse 10 sind durch sie umgrenzende Wände 26 gegeneinander abgeschirmt.1 and 3, the terminal connections 10 are arranged in groups in mutually offset planes. In the exemplary embodiment, three levels offset from one another are provided. The internal plug-in contact elements 12 connected to the clamp connections 10 are also offset in accordance with the clamp connections 10 and, correspondingly, the mating plug-in contact elements 13, which are fastened in the holder 14. The staggering of several stair-shaped levels enables the specified clearance and creepage distances to be maintained with a compact design, even with relatively small radial distances between the individual contacts. In this way, a large number of electrical contacts with terminal connections 10 can be arranged in a comparatively narrow space, 42 of such terminal connections 10 being provided in the exemplary embodiment (FIG. 2). The individual terminal connections 10 are shielded from one another by walls 26 surrounding them.
Erwähnt sei noch, dass das Grundrahmenteil 8 aus Metall, vorzugsweise aus Aluminiumdruckguss besteht. Es weist an seinen Enden jeweils Anschlussflansche 23, 24 auf, über die Verbindungen einerseits mit dem Gehäuseteil 2 und andererseits mit dem Abschlussdeckel 9 möglich sind. Auch im Bereich dieser Verbindungen sind O-Ring-Abdichtungen vorgesehen. It should also be mentioned that the base frame part 8 consists of metal, preferably of die-cast aluminum. It has connection flanges 23, 24 at its ends, via which connections on the one hand to the housing part 2 and on the other hand to the end cover 9 are possible. O-ring seals are also provided in the area of these connections.
